February 2017_by Federica Tattoli

Fasi Lunari, curated by Francesco stocchi and Albert Oehlen, gathers together the works of Albert Oehlen and six young artists his former students. The show is an overview exclusively devoted to painting, unfolding almost like the story of an intense creative exchange born at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf, where the artist taught from 2000 to 2009. Oehlen has followed his students over the years, even beyond his role as their professor. He has continued to support them in their growth as artists and has befriended them even after their art academy days. Here the interview with Max Frintrop (1982, Oberhausen, Germany), who analyzes the spatial properties of color and form building abstract compositions through heavy brushstrokes.
